Win the Day

Coach Chip Kelly's mantra for the Oregon Ducks football team: to take care of what you can control today instead of looking down the road too often; to treat every game like it's the National Championship

Fast. Hard. Finish.

I was really for the Ducks to be ranked #1 in the polls in November but then Chip Kelly reminded everyone that we need to win the day because the only rankings that matter are the ones on January 11th.

If you don't win the day at practice on Tuesday, how do you expect to win the game on Saturday?

first win of the day

It’s what you typically add on Snapchat or any group chat of any social medium platform when you are in a match of any battle royale game. The funny thing is that no one who puts that up will ever be as good as my buddy Evan. Be careful because currently Evan only plays pubg but he is gonna tear cheeks up in paladins battle royale pretty soon. Anyone who says first win of the day following 4/21/18 is lying since Evan is the only one getting dubs.

First win of day was an inside job, and I bet everything i just said will be outdated but within 3 years. “Oh no way Evan won again using only 8x scope and no gun.” Other dude- “woah totally tubular considering the player base is already on its last legs.”

How many times do I have to rewrite this damn thing in order to get approved
First win of the day is good and that’s how it is defined will this be approved now

Striver

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh

SkyPesos

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.

- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.

Hate Draft

1. Select a player (real or fantasy) during a sports draft to spite or anger one or more of your opponents because they had intended to select him/her.

2. Select a player (real or fantasy) during a sport draft to put one or more of your opponents at a strategic disadvantage.

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.
